We divide 242188 by 59
Our goal is to divide 242188 by 59.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 59, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 59

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 59

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 59, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 236 from 242 to get 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 59

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 61 by 59, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 59 from 61 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 59

Step 5:
28 divided by 59 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 410.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 288 / 59

Advancing to step 6:
288 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4104.0
Deduct 236 from 288 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 520 by 59, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4104.8
Deduct 472 from 520 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 59 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4104.88
If we subtract 472 from 480, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 4104.88 with a remainder of 0.008.
